aw, since mine was ordered a day after yours, I thought mine might come on the 29th, ie Friday. But I bet it is not until Monday now. Could really have done with it for the weekend too.
 
my mba arrived with apple for merging yesterday afternoon
did anyone get updates from the expo.expeditors site after merging?
doesn't seem to be anything happening today.

how long can it take to put a gift card in a box? must be a bloody big gift card...
 
I ordered a CTO 13" Macbook Air (i7, 8GB RAM) with the HE discount on 20th June with the estimated delivery of 28th June - 2nd July. It was shipped yesterday (25th) and from the tracking I can see this:

30-Jun-2012 14:00:00 GMT Requested Delivery Date
27-Jun-2012 21:00:00 GMT (est.) Estimated Time of Arrival PUDONG, SHANGHAI, CHINA (PVG) LONDON, ENGLAND (LHR) PVG-LHR:
27-Jun-2012 05:00:00 SGT (est.) Booked PUDONG, SHANGHAI, CHINA (PVG) LONDON, ENGLAND (LHR) PVG-LHR: LH8401/27
26-Jun-2012 11:42:00 SGT Freight Received w/Docs
26-Jun-2012 09:31:00 SGT Client Called for Pickup

I was hoping to get it on the 28th June but I probably won't get it before the weekend now.

You may check the following webpage (use your reference number, "Europe" as region and "APP" as customer), but is not that useful, I only got info from June 14th.
https://atlas.flextronics.com/apps/tracktrace/trk_tracking.asp
(To see the results, you need to use Internet Explorer or directly check the source code if you use another web browser).

Btw, my reference number is in the following format: 820*******

Using this method I discovered that my package was 'manifested' this morning... is that good? On its way to me today, or part of the merging process I wonder?
 
Ordered my i7 / 8GB 13 MBA last night (25th June) with HE discount and delivery is expected between 1st - 3rd of July.

It is still in processing at the moment :(

Already order a leather sleeve for it.. so I may have to pretend for a few days lol.

Not to ruin your hopes or anything, but mine shipped 18th and I still haven't gotten it :/

Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow or thursday.
 
Ordered on 17th received on 26th

Ordered on June 17th:
MBA 11" BTO 8GB RAM / 512 GB Flash / 1.7 Ghz core i5

shipped on June 20th

arrived on June 26th (CH)

Manufacturer of Flash and Display: Samsung for both :D

Running Parallels with Windows 7 (2 virtual cores, 3 GB RAM allocated) and I have not yet heard the fan yet and it only gets warm, but not sizzling hot like my 2011 MBP 15" Core i7 does under Parallels with exact same virtual machine configuration. Great machine!

I ordered last night and also have 3rd-5th.. Maybe because he has ordered the i7?
I found the 1st-3rd to be abit odd seeing as the 1st would be a Sunday
Click to expand...

Mines an i7 as well though? 13/i7/8gb/256gb with only the gift card and no accessories. Odd.
 
I'm sorry but this service from Apple isn't good enough. I'm very close to cancelling my order. No way in this day and age should anybody experience such horrific delays.

Any idea on why the UK store does not have the express delivery service like in the US?
Click to expand...

I believe they do have express delivery.

For orders shipping from the UK you can upgrade the delivery for £12/£15. Express delivery from China costs £8.

Having said that, for some reason they removed the Express option after the WWDC conference. When I was looking at the online store on the Sunday before the conference the option was there, after WWDC it was gone.

I contacted them asking why the option was no longer available and they said that the delivery options available "depend on your current location and consumer demand". I imagine the increase in orders after WWDC has meant that for some reason they're now unwilling to offer Express delivery.
 
Ordered on June 18, shipped on June 21, expected delivery date was July 2, but now it says that the delivery is expected TOMORROW by UPS (to Denmark).
:):):)

How awesome would it be to get it tomorrow when I was expecting Monday?

At what point do you get tracking numbers etc? At the moment im at 'We are processing your order' on the apple website (ordered last night)

I think it took 2-3 days for them to ship mine. Only got the UPS number today when I checked the 'track order' on Apple's page. Until then you can see it through Expeditors.com with the delivery reference number you'll get from Apple's shipment notification email.
 
TNT just pushed my delivery from the 3rd to the 4th of July. That means that it'll take them 9 days to deliver it from Eindhoven to Norway. That's quite amazing in my opinion :p
 
Arriving today according to ups!
Ordered 16th, shipped 20th, merged netherlands 25th, arrives Sweden 27th
 
Hi,
My mba was shipped on the 25th. I tried expo.expeditors but no shipment was found on their system. Then I tried atlas flextronics and I got a tracking that tells nothing and apparently refers to the gift card and not to the macbook (weigth is 0.01).
Is there any other way to get info about my macbook?
